county recording fees: SERS not MERS! - 02/24/11 12:05 PM
SERS not MERS! If you have been a reader of The Hallmark Abstract Sentinel then by now you are aware of MERS and the controversy that surrounds it. The Mortgage Electronic Recording System has been at the heart of questionable foreclosures due to standing issues, as well as for having aided in the avoidance of untold millions in recording fees not paid to counties. It was only a matter of time before someone came up with a way to digitize marriage recordings in a system known as SERS, the Spouse Electronic Recording System (H/T 4closure Fraud). @font-face {

county recording fees: MERS and the avoidance of mortgage recording fees is the next shoe to drop - 02/23/11 10:07 AM
From Hallmark Abstract Service LLC MERS (Mortgage Electronic Registration System) and the avoidance of mortgage recording feesCurrently MERS is dealing with a storm in the foreclosure arena over whether or not a lender was legally able to foreclose on a mortgage in MERS name. This has led the firm to issue an announcement instructing all of its members to cease this practice immediately ("Is MERS attempting to put the genie back into the bottle with yesterdays announcement")Remember that MERS was established for the purpose of creating an electronic system that was able to easily assign mortgages from one entity to another.
